   Had reservations at Deans Study for 715pm. Hostess said very busy and to wait at bar. 30min later still not seated. Finally taken to Deans Study and only one other couple sitting at bar. Very poor service by hostess.

   The place is nice, great service and fun drinks. Food is just terrible. They have an amazing kitchen next door. They can do better. No food would be better. We ordered the three different bites and all were NO BUENO. The cones and cookie were just too sweet. Killed the main protein flavor.

   What a great hidden gem this is! They have an outstanding array of liquors and signature drinks. Jordan, the bartender, was phenomenal. Not only was he personable, but he mixes a mean cocktail (a necessity before dinner). We’ll definitely be back.

   Went in with a an early reservation to celebrate my birthday and a couple without a reservation came in to take engagement photos around the space with a photographer. They used flash inside and spent an hour after stating they’d be there for a few quick photos. This did ruin the experience of enjoying a nice cocktail considering the policy of reservation only and price point. Food and drinks were delicious but was not appreciative that staff never approached them after the first 30 minutes to explain that they were disrupting other paying patrons’ experience.

   Food was fantastic! Ambience was perfect. Staff up front were really great, servers were lagging hard during the meal.

   Bartenders were fantastic. They explained each drink and their presentation when making the drinks was perfect.

   This is not a speakeasy. It’s a high end bar. The drinks are ok, not great. The service was excellent. The options for appetizers is so sad and limited. Chips and onion dip or fish is not the best options to impress anyone that you’re with. Had higher expectations and was dissatisfied with the experience. Won’t be going back.

    Loved the experience...the ambience of the bar to begin with, the cocktail menu and the delicious cocktails themselves. We will definitely be back!
